Come over and practice walking


Linda wants to start practicing walking (at home) in front of friends. She hopes to become less nervous walking in front of people by practicing in a safe environment. You're welcome to visit and help out.

She notes that picking up pencils with her foot (something the therapists suggested) has helped to make her ankle stronger. It still gives her trouble, most notably at the therapy center. She's been crocheting again, a blanket for Ellie, and that seems to be really helping with the tone in her left index finger.

I took Linda to the grocery store again today. She used her wheelchair (I pumped up the tires before we went). This was after doing therapy, so pretty ambitious. By the end, she was pretty darn tired. She skipped an aisle or two and I pushed her back to the car.

It's pretty hard buying lots of groceries when your trunk is mostly full of wheelchair and your back seat has to have a place to put Ellie.

I read a fun story to Ellie tonight, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.
